I wouldn't read too much into the announcement, it just stated a matter of fact. (Opinion) If Grant has any ambition to enjoy his football, to be considered first choice and do well here, he wouldn't have signed if the management team were not 100% behind his decision. It's irrelevant now we have a slimmer and from accounts fitter player, who says he is determined to show he can do much better than last season. If he does this, he can be a big character for us.
We want to attract players with good FL pedigree to the NL then we have to be imaginative with contracts.
